Why People Do Not Recover Con-

Why People Do Not Recover Con-
sciousness in the Grave.
New York Herald.l
"There is no excuse for any one being
buried alive" said DIR. w. A. Hammond.
A Herald reporter had called on him IN ref
erence to the burial alive of Miss Stickney,
of Indianapolis, who was taken out of a
vault and found to be in trance state, and
did not die until several weeks after her
funeral.
"No,n he continued; "there is no excuse
for 1t. The tests of death have been brought
down to such point that any competent
physician would have no difficulty In ac-
curately determining whether or not death
had taken place."
"Does decomposition always set In after
death r'
''Invariably, provided the body is not
frozen. OF course, you can freeze 1t and
keep 1t for years before 1t will decompose---
just as fish are kept frozen for market The
salmon that you eat now were caught last
since. They are just as good" "
"Do you imagine that there is any
foundation to the belief OF many that
people are sometimes buried alive?"
"Oh, / have no doubt Of 1t. / have
known Of its being done, but It is not by
any means Of frequent occurrence-not
nearly SO frequent as many people imagine.
The physician is entirely to blame when 1t
does occur. The fact that bodies have been
found turned over in the collins lead peo.
pie to believe that they were buried alive.
But that's not so. 1t Is probably the worl;
Of the gases coming from the body. Pent
up In q coffin they become very powerful,
and 1t is almost singular that they do not
move bodies around more than they do"
"Then you don't take any stock 10 the
stories Of men who come to life under
the ground, Of their terrible struggles to
get free, and their horrible death at last 9''
"That's all bosh Poe wrote of grave
yards trembling with the struggles of the
buried alive. That's all bosh, too. When
people are buried alive, as they certainly
have been, they never wake up to know it.
When In q trance state their vitality must
be so weak that when they begin to regain
consciousness and to attempt to breathe
they die of suffocation Immediately and
never know that they came to life again
Buried for dead, they practically are dead

THE THREE CRUISERS.
1t Is Believed That They Can BE Com
pleted within tho Board EstImatoa.

Pboeou Within tho bOhru EstimhteBs
Chief Constructor Wilson yesterday re-
ceived telegram from Naval Constructor
Steele at Chester, Pa, stating that worl, is
again progressing on the Chicago. Naval
officers generally are much pleased with
the opinion given by the Attorney General
that the cruisers can be completed with the
balances Of general appropriations, pro-
vlded the estimates of'the naval advisory
board are not exceeded.
Notwithstanding the fact that number
OF new inventions and appliances not con-
templated In the scheme of the advisory
board have been placed on the cruisers, the
department is confident that they can be
completed at cost within the estimates of
that board, 80 far as concerns the work OF
construction and steam engineering. 1t is
believed that the total cost OF finishing
the engineering work on the Chicago will
be $4,000 less than the estimates, and In
the case Gf the Boston and Atlanta, $l5,0 900
to SIS, 600 respectively. The figures include
the cost OF the new appliances above re.
ferred to--such as ice machines. seDarators,
and electric light plants.
The Atlanta was ordered to be docked at
New York to-day TO have her bottom
cleaned and painted. She is now being
fitted with separators to prevent foaming In
the boilers, and will be dispatched on an
other trial trip in short time.
The Boston, now at New York, Is being
fitted with ice machines, electric lights,
and steam separators, and will be ready for
trial trip within q few weeks. -
The Chicagois not SO far advanced to-
ward completion as the other cruisers, but
the engines have been practically finished,
and only small amount OF construction
work remains to be done. She will be re.
moved from Chester to the New York navy
yard next week. Owing to the good results
obtained at her recent dock trial, the engl-
DeeriDg bureau feel that the vessel is al
ready an assured success. Particular graft.
fcation is expressed at the good perform.
ance Of the new ''beam" engines, which
were regarded as purely experimental and
Of somewhat doubtful expedlency Con-
traryto expectation, they ran very smoothly
and gave rise to very little vibration. Lit
tie of the trouble experienced with the
Atlanta and Boston In securing an air
tight fire room was encountered in the case
Of the Chicago, but an excellent forced
draft was easily procured, and altogether
1t is believed that she will be much the best
ship Of the three new cruisers.

Its Friends With a Literary and Musi-

An audience to the full capacity OF Wash.
ington Hall, Third street aud Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, many standing, appeared
there last evening by invitation of Farragut
Post, No. 10, G. A. r., to enjoy q musical
and literary entertainment. Commander
Howard presided, and delivered an inter
estiDg and patriotic address. He described
the change In the character of our people
when the war of the rebellion called to arms.
Instantly, as It itseemed, we became nation
OF soldiers. After the happy result of that
prolonged and desperate struggle, for
American fought with American, the re-
tired warriors of the northern and Union
their comrades, living or dead, and
this talk finally led to the prop
osition Of an organization, to
include all the patriotic survivors. Thus
arose the G. A. r., now a mighty society
throughout the Union, it's motto Frater-
nifty, Charity, Loyalty. Its chief work,
at the present day, is to secure to soldiers
their legal right-preference to office, aud
to provide for the widows and orphans OF
the same post, also spoke. He dwelt on
sociability as the distinguishing trait Of
soldiers. A fine trio was then performed
on guitar, violin, and organ. Next vocal
solo, with very pleasing effect. Prof. Bond
rendered remarkably sweet music, produc.
ing tones seldom ELECTED from the guitar.
Mrs. Green delivered Marc Anthony's ora
tion. not as Shakespeare wrote It, but as
transformed by some wit who had turned
1t into burlesque. Recalled twice, she re-
cited "The Widow Malone" and "Woman's IS
Rights,n causing much laughter, not only
own admirable manner. Miss Lulu Cole
appeared in whistlipg solo, accompanied
by the organ. Col. Lincoln, commander of
Post 2, delivered stirring speech. There
was n simple, pleasant, social style about
the entire evening, which made 1t very sat

tainment with delightful music on the

ness. One third Of the amount, $4,000, was
donation from the Madison Avenue Con-

Another third was in the shape of voluntary
surrenders of legal claims on the part of a
few individuals A little less than So, 500,
was a loan without interest, from the
American Congregational Union at New
York.
The balance of over s2,5OO has been con-
tributed by the tabernacle people and their
friends In the First Congregational Church,
and by others In and out Of the city. Out
of the unpaid subscriptions 1t is expected
every dollar of the remaining Indebtedness

the tabernacle people propose to hold

Senator Sawyer Knows Good Pine
Lands.
[Chicago Herald !

lShlcu%o heralu
Senator Philetus Sawyer is very close
buyer when lie gets into the market to pur.
chase pine lands. Usually the man who
sells to him does not know who the buyer
lie. A few summers ago Philetus was up in
Oconto county inspecting some pine, and
when he sounded the owner as to sale
that Individual, an old man with grizzly
hair and whlskers, hauled out newspaper
containing wood cut Of Sawyer, looked at
1t closely, and then at the stranger, and
said:
"You be old Sawyer Blessed II haven't
This land amt for sale. Pine that Sawyer
wants is pine, and I'll just keep this here
patch to hand down as a heirloom to my
children"
No trade was made, and the price of pine
land In that region rose Immediately there
after, something that does not take place
very often In Wisconsin until after Sawyer
has made his purchase.
